Invite contest
The prizes
The 10 students with the most friends who count win, $775 in all:
- 1st place: $250
- 2nd to 5th place: $100 each
- 6th to 10th place: $25 each
Each prize is a digital gift card, sent to the email address on the winner's ChapterPrep account.
How a friend counts
Your invite link is on the Win $250 with ChapterPrep page in your dashboard menu. A friend counts for you when all three of these are true:
- They made a new ChapterPrep account with your link, or typed your code in their account's first 7 days.
- Their email is confirmed. Signing up with Google does that on its own; anyone who signs up with an email and password gets one email with a link to click.
- They picked their event on that account, the first step after making it, before the contest ended.
Accounts made before the contest started do not count, and each new account counts for one student only. An account made with a throwaway email address, or with a second spelling of an address that already has an account (like adding dots or a +word to a Gmail address), cannot count.
Who can win
Any student in the United States with a ChapterPrep student account. Advisors and teachers cannot win, and neither can the people who run ChapterPrep or their families. One account per person, as the terms say. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian has to say yes by email before we send your prize. Void where the law does not allow it.
Standings and ties
Students are ranked by friends who count. If two students have the same number, the one who got there first places higher. The standings update as friends join, on that same page, with first names and last initials only. If you turned the leaderboard off in Settings, you show as "A student".
Fair play
Every friend has to be a real person who made their own account with their own email. We check the standings while the contest runs and review the top 10 again before paying anyone. Accounts that look made up, that one person made several of, or that someone else set up stop counting as soon as we find them, and a student who makes them is removed from the contest. Our decision on which friends count is final.
Winners
The contest ends November 24, 2026 at 11:59 PM Eastern. Winners hear from us by December 1, 2026, by email to the address on their account, and have 14 days to reply. A prize nobody claims goes to the next student in the standings.
Everything else
ChapterPrep is free, and nothing has to be bought to take part. The contest is run by ChapterPrep alone. It is not run, sponsored or endorsed by FBLA, DECA, HOSA, FFA, FCCLA or any school. If the contest is abused we may change or end it, and any change is posted on this page first. For the contest we store your invite code, which new accounts came with it and, to check for made-up accounts, a scrambled form of the network and browser they came from, as the privacy policy says. Questions go through the Request a change button (the flag) on any page.
